This is the complete therapeutic guide to working with hydrosols. Hydrosols, also known as floral waters, are produced at the same time as essential oils through steam distillation of plants. Some of them, such as rose water or the hydrosol of orange blossoms, have been known for centuries while others have only recently become available. Therapeutic use of hydrosols has become more and more popular over the last ten years in health care, cosmetics, spa treatments and many other areas of beauty and well-being.

Translated from the original French, this book gives a complete overview of theory and practice, including detailed descriptions, testimonials, recipes for all kind of disorders. It includes information on how hydrosols can be used in babycare, cooking, and care for pets. It provides a clear vision of how you can easily introduce hydrosols in your daily life as well as using them for specific disorders.

Reviews
As an educator of essential oils, aromatherapy and botanical ingredients used in body care, I don't know of any other book that offers such a remarkable and invaluable resource about the healing powers of hydrosols - and how by integrating them into the daily practice of our lives we can live more authentically. It's exquisitely written and organized, and Lydia magically guides us through dozens of therapeutic actions, applications, energetic affinities and soulful discoveries all using hydrosols. This book will elevate all of us who work with aromatic plants! -- Amy Galper, Co-Founder of the New York Institute of Aromatic Studies, and Co-Author of Plant Powered Beauty
